Exercise for your brain, not just your body
Remember how "mission critical" your brain is to all of your life? Give it a workout today.
The easiest way to keep your brain sharp is to find some kind of physical activity you love doing, mix it up with an alternative type exercise… then mark it on your calendar as an important appointment.
Because it could prove to be the most important one of your day!
Exercising in the morning before work not only spikes brain activity and prepares it for the day's challenges… it also increases retention of new information and aids problem solving on complex issues.
Many experts also advocate that it promotes regular workouts, as fewer activities clamor for your attention early.
Looking to change up your workout? Try an activity that requires coordination along with cardio exertion, like a dance class.
If you like crunching time at the gym alone, try circuit workouts, which spike your heart rate while constantly redirecting your attention.
Any way you do it, always remember this doctor's admonition… "Exercise is really for the brain, not the body."
